Dialogue with Death #21: Shadow and Light
Shadow has no independent existence of its own. It exists only with reference to the light. Using this analogy, Kathopanishad elaborates how the jiva (the false ‘I’ ego) is the shadow and Paramata (the true Self) is the light. Seeing the jiva, we therefore know that Paramata is. Only ignorance keeps our true Self far from us, when in fact it is so close.
